Holiday Expressions New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to our blog hop featuring new products in the new Close To My Heart Holiday Expressions catalog. You're on the right path if you just came from Lucy Marino's blog.To see the entire list of participants, visitMelinda Everitt's blog post.
There are so many fun stamps, papers, dies, embellishments, etc. from this book it was hard to narrow down what to share. Since I need about 200 Christmas cards this year, I picked one Christmas stamp set, Prince of Peace, to show you three examples. I thought the Joy to the World stamp in this set would work perfectly for this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #230.

I did make one mistake with this project by including gold sequins so that the cards would be flatter for mailing. I had overlooked that they retired last month. These are no longer available, but the bronze sequins have a sheet of gold sequins. You can check out the products I used below or you can move on to Emily Sararas's blog so that you can start making your own projects right away! Thanks for visiting!

I'm also sharing this project with a couple of the Christmas challenges:

I love all 3 but I am kind of drawn to the second one as I love non-traditional coloured cards for Christmas. They are all gorgeous, though! And - thanks for sharing your beautiful cards with Atlantic Hearts as well :)

WOW, Vickie, you totally rocked this stamp set! I can't even pick a favorite, these are all great cards. Great colors and great take on the sketch too. Thanks for sharing with us this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
